Last Post?

I've barely been on this blog in ages, it may be time to officially retire from it. It's time for me to move on in many ways.

I have finally graduated from university--I do wish my parents would have been present but I know they're proud of me. They've been my biggest influence and deserve credit for any accomplishments I may have because they always believed in me. I get sentimental when I think of them. All my family members have been very supportive of me. I was in tears a couple of weeks because I got so homesick. It's funny how I was so eager to get done with school, now I realize so many things I'll miss.

Over time, our identities evolve as we take up new roles in new places and grow up. I know I'm not the same person I was when I started this blog. While I'm still 20-something, I'm not as idealistic about the world. I have travelled many distances and learned a lot about myself. Different experiences have made me develop deep compassion and learn not to take the priviledges I have for granted. Now, it's time to consider a new job, and moving to a new city or state. Who knows where I'll be this time next year?

There's so much to look forward to---including attending a bloggers meetup in Nairobi one of these fine days....

Felicitations on the graduation! I completely hear you on not being able to be there. My brother gets his masters next week, but we can't be there to celebrate with him. At least we were together for his undergrad, so this isn't too bad. We will have a celebration for him next time he comes home.

All the best with New Things! Do holla when you get home.
